Versioned DOI

A Zenodo record — one DOI per release — is a Phase-0 launch item. When cut, the version box above will carry the DOI, and citing a specific investigation will mean citing the engine tag it was run at plus the DOI of the frozen data pack it consumed.

Note

No DOI is minted on this scaffold. Cite the version and git hash until the Zenodo record exists.
